DGBD is tuning for 5 string banjo minus the high 5th string. I like it. I use it on my cbg because I’m used to it from playing banjo. Both r G tunings actually. It just puts your root note G in a higher postion.

<p>There are a ton of tuning options for a four string instrument (standard guitar tuning, open tunings, ukulele tuning, etc.). Here is a link to many options <a rel="nofollow" href="http://rycooder.nl/pages/tenor_gauges.htm" target="_blank">Tunings</a></p>

GDGB is great for songs in G and D. However, you might find it a tad challenging, chord-wise, for songs in Eb, for example. ADF#B gives you the ability for movable chord shapes, and ADGB is the middle 4 strings of a 6-stringer, on which many chords are played...

<p>Yes BUT</p>
<p>It would get a tad interesting accompanying 'any' music with GDGB tuning, which is a G Major chord, a bar chord on that will always be a major chord and it will take some work to figure out how to finger a minor chord. a song in the key of G could use any of these chords: G Am Bm C D Em F#dim</p>
<p>that's why the G5 chord/tuning GDG is so popular for the 3 strings, its neither major nor minor and sounds good accompanying either. </p>

<p>A Chord is multiple notes played at once on an instrument intended to do so, such as a guitar, ukulele, mandolin, harp, piano, etc</p>
<p>A double/triple stop is multiple notes played at once on an instrument not intended to do so, such as a violin/viola/cello</p>

<p>Hello! I would like to know if with these four string guitars, you could play accompaniment chords of any song and style, rock, pop .... and that tuning would be the best. I read that gdgb is good because chords are simple to do. The six string guitars are too complicated for me :) GDGB is the good choice for this? another?<br/>Thanks for your reply</p>

<p>D = 056</p>
<p>G = 046</p>
<p>D = 036</p>
<p>G = 026</p>
<p>All are wound. The D 056 and G 046 are the same as the highest two strings on a bass guitar. The low D can be tricky, however since it adds some dissonant tones. I usually mute the open string with my thumb over top of the neck if I'm strumming, but use it if finger picking.</p>
